Vincent Van Duysen – Complete Works

A master­class in quiet sophis­ti­ca­tion, Complete Works offers the defin­i­tive mono­graph on Belgian archi­tect Vincent Van Duysen. Span­ning over two decades of prac­tice, this richly illus­trated volume presents more than thirty projects — from serene private resi­dences to refined commer­cial spaces and iconic furni­ture designs — united by Van Duysen’s restrained mate­r­ial palette and tactile minimalism.

With specially commis­sioned photog­ra­phy by Alberto Piovano and thought­ful trib­utes by David Adjaye, Ann Demeule­meester, Patri­cia Urquiola, and others, the book offers rare insight into Van Duysen’s ability to shape atmos­phere through archi­tec­tural silence and sensory depth. As Ilse Craw­ford notes in her fore­word, ​“You are not just impressed by the beauty of the spaces but by the memory of the details and the feeling of the materials.”

A cult favorite in the world of contem­po­rary design, Van Duysen’s work is at once emotional, elemen­tal, and endur­ing — this mono­graph is an essen­tial addi­tion to any serious archi­tec­ture or interiors library.
